The log shows that Sierra Chart is not able to connect to the TWS software.

Is the TWS software actually running? It has to be running on the same computer in order for Sierra Chart to connect to it.

If the TWS software is running, then go through the Setup Instructions at the following link to see if there is something that got changed or is not setup properly:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Yes it was running. Even when I rebooted the PC I couldn't connect to TWS. But the next day, without changing anything that I know of, all was fine. Most odd...
